filter > blur > lens blur
filter > blur > gaussian blur
or you shoot a model with a macro lens :)
Thanks Nick, yes I've just had a look at the psd and here's a basic work flow to that image:Quote:

Then in PS I have a healing layer for some dry skin he had, then just a small S curve adj-layer, brought in the highlights slider a smidge on the levels adj-layer. I then sharpened the imaged with an Unsharp mask at, Amount 70%, Radius 1, Threshold 10.
For the web display image I then down sized it and applied further sharpening for web viewing.
The image is uncropped.
Glad you like it :D
stay clear of USM, look at using a high pass with hard light layer..

Thanks :D I feel like I'm improving myself, the more observing I do, the better I'm getting at spotting good light and composition. Tips from here have helped immenselyQuote:

It's a miniature on an incense stall in front of the actual big one, I shot it with the Zeiss 25/2.8. And I shot film, except for an USM of 40%/R5/T2 no more post-processing is appliedQuote:
